During an interview with Newsen on August 26 in a café in Samcheong-dong, Shin Se Kyung was asked about having acted as a couple with Big Bang′s T.O.P.

The actress started, “First of all, there were many things to learn from him.”

Shin Se Kyung said, “Watching him at the filming site, I could tell that he works really hard and is really detailed. I was surprised because you could just see how hard he was working. He was professional to the point of making me look back at myself.”

She continued, “So it was interesting to watch the process of T.O.P perfecting his character and made me anticipate the final outcome. In the case of my character ‘Mina,’ her relationship with ‘Dae Gil’ (T.O.P) is very important. It takes about 80% of her character. So it was important for me to have good teamwork with oppa (T.O.P) and I felt satisfied and thankful during filming.”

When asked if she felt pressured about the fans’ responses toward her kiss scene with a member of the idol group Big Bang, Shin Se Kyung answered, “Oh no, why did I do it?? I didn′t think about that at all. I guess that′s true…I probably won′t be able to sleep tonight,” before adding, “[The kiss scene] was all business. I think fans will understand by seeing me as the character in the movie.”
